Build your own Itsy?
mgrennan writes "Compaq's development of the Itsy continues! The Western Research Lab (WRL) of Compaq is not only continuing their development of Itsy (a Linux Palm Top) they have even included links and source code on their site so you can build your own.
It would apear Itsy started life as an SA-1100 prototype for the ARM processor. With this board and the code from WRL you can do the same.
The groups latest added gismo to Itsy is Rock 'n' Scroll, a
user input method for Itsy that is based on tilting and
gesturing with the Itsy in the user's hand. As the user
tilts it from this neutral position on either or both axes, the display is scrolled. The tilt direction sets the scroll direction and the magnitude of the tilt sets the scroll speed. Small motions due to hand tremor and noise in the environment are filtered out so that scrolling is smooth and the user can easily stop scrolling. " Somebody build me one
while they're at it *grin*.
